      Spatial variation in plant chemical defence towards herbivores can help us understand variation in herbivore top–down control of shrubs in the Arctic and possibly also shrub responses to global warming. Less defended, ...
    • Flexibility in otherwise consistent non-breeding movements of a long-distance migratory seabird, the long-tailed skua

      Quantifying within- and between-individual variation in animal migration strategies is a first step towards our understanding of the ability of migrants to adjust to changes in the en - vironment. We studied consistency ...

Dean; Côté, Steeve D.; Davison, Tracy; Dumond, Mathieu; Ford, Barrie; Gruzdev, Alexander; Gunn, Anne; Jones, Patrick; Kutz, Susan; Leclerc, Lisa-Marie; Mallory, Conor; Mavrot, Fabien; Mosbacher, Jesper Bruun; Okhlop, Innokentiy Mikhailovich; Reynolds, Patricia; Schmidt, Niels Martin; Sipko, Taras; Suitor, Mike; Tomaselli, Matilde; Ytrehus, Bjørnar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Muskoxen (Ovibos moschatus) are an integral component of Arctic biodiversity. Given low genetic diversity, their ability to respond to future and rapid Arctic change is unknown, although paleontological history demonstrates ...
    • Show Me Your Rump Hair and I Will Tell You What You Ate – The Dietary History of Muskoxen (Ovibos moschatus) Revealed by Sequential Stable Isotope Analysis of Guard Hairs 

      Mosbacher, Jesper Bruun; Michelsen, Anders; Stelvig, Mikkel; Hendrichsen, Ditte Katrine; Schmidt, Niels Martin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)
      The nutritional state of animals is tightly linked to the ambient environment, and for northern ungulates the state strongly influences vital population demographics, such as pregnancy rates. Continuously growing tissues, ...
    • Trans-Equatorial Migration Routes, Staging Sites and Wintering Areas of a High-Arctic Avian Predator: The Long-tailed Skua (Stercorarius longicaudus) 

      Gilg, Olivier; Moe, Børge; Hanssen, Sveinn Are; Schmidt, Niels Martin; Sittler, Benoit; Hansen, Jannik; Reneerkens, Jeroen; Sabard, Brigitte; Chastel, Olivier; Moreau, Jérôme; Phillips, Richard A.; Oudman, Thomas; Biersma, Elisabeth M.; Fenstad, Anette; Lang, Johannes; Bollache, Loïc (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)
      The Long-tailed Skua, a small (,300 g) Arctic-breeding predator and seabird, is a functionally very important component of the Arctic vertebrate communities in summer, but little is known about its migration and winter ...
